In Episode 2 of Kirby Allison's "From Suit to Shoot" YouTube series, Henry Poole Managing Director Simon Cundey travels to Scotland himself to visit Lovat Mill, where the magnificent tweed selected for Kirby's five-piece shooting suit is being woven.

During Simon's visit at Lovat Mill, we learn about the incredible work that goes into the creation of proper tweed cloth and how this gives it its incredible depth of color. After his brief visit, Simon collects Kirby's fabric that he will then take back to the Henry Poole workshop to be chaulked, cut, and tailored.
